      How is that fiberglass piece attached to the aluminum?

        There's two countersunk M3 TSHCS's underneath that hold it together.

          Id use green or red locktite on those screws.They are nice mounts,but they are similar to EKOS mounts in that they bolt together in the same fashion.I had the 2 screws in the one of the EKOS mounts back out and had to cut the mount out for the 3rd time.I was using blue locktite.I switched to green and they havent budged yet.

            Yeah, I recommend using loctite red. It's worked well thus far. Green would be good too! I should add that info.

              Weird, I've never had an issue with mine. OOPS! shouldn't have said anything. Now they will come loose for sure.

                  That's because you have this weird magic like luck with with the VenKOS.

                  He he.

                  BTW- Now that I know what I know, I don't carry the animosity I once had two-ard des kompaneeez.

                    Here is my set-up of the similar boat.

                    6s voltage speed with 1/2 throttle reach over 100 km/h.


                    Prop 38/1,5/3 RL. I recommend!

                      Nice clean setup! Are those the 1800kv versions of the typhoon outrunner?

                            Please show us a few close ups of your clear plastic hatch cover. I have been considering something like that for my EKOS. Does the stock canopy fit over it? How thick is it?
                            Any details you can provide would be great.
                            Thank you

                              Motormounts are not modified, but to them have added water cooling. Engines have been made to the fitting plate, so that they may be attached to 19 mm motormount.

                              The clear plastic is 2.5 mm polycarbonate. I have taped the clear plastic and then the original canopy and it fits well, the canopy leaves just few millimetres up from edge.

                                Nice! That will help prevent sinking in event of a window blowout. It's happened before when the hull submarines into a wave.
